Back in the late nineties, myself, 'im indoors and my best mate all chose to quit the cigarettes and managed to go without for two years.

This might sound really silly to all the non-smokers out there but we were all really miserable. It never seemed to get any better. Our social life went out of the window because the pub was a no go area, a beer seems much nicer with a ciggie!!

I was the first to fall by the wayside, or at least the first to admit to it. I learned how to be deceptive and would park up on my way to work to have a quick rollie (easier to hide). Then I would wait until 'im indoors was asleep and sit out in the garden for a while. Panic stations if he stopped snoring! All three of us are back to it now and having made our decision that's the way I expect it will stay.

I understand everything you have said Terry and I'm sorry you are sick. The government would be better employed ensuring that the young of today never start and leave us with our curse of the sixties.

We all know how we will end up but the choice is made.
